Seven miners have been killed by a methane blast at a Russian coal mine.

Many miners were brought to the surface safely at the mine in Siberia's western Kemerovo region, but 64 are still underground. Four miners are injured.

Article from RT [link]:-

More bodies have been found in the Siberian coal mine hit by two gas explosions over the weekend, raising the death toll to 47. Rescuers are desperately trying to reach 4 miners still trapped deep underground.

All 19 rescue workers sent into the mine following the first of two blasts have been found dead and have been identified. So far, 32 bodies have been identified. 79 people have been taken to hospital, six of those who were severely injured have been transported to Moscow.

“We have a limited amount of time to search and remove the injured or dead from the mine. There is a dense level of methane gas. So now we need to decide if we need to increase ventilation there, the problem is that if we pump in more oxygen, we face the possibility of another explosion,” Emergencies Minister Sergey Shoigu commented.
